If you want anybody to represent you this is your guy

From day one he’s very attentive and will inform you on your situation. Even though it looks kind of grim at first he’ll be your beacon of light and he will get you through it. He’s very confident and knows his in and outs with the law.

Posted by anonymous | October 27, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

superb criminal defense

The experience and precise litigation techiques made the prosecution visibly nervous at every hearing. the attorney was so prepared that even the judge recommended to the prosecutor to dismiss the case. after two hard fought motion we won the case.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have had the pleasure of working alongside Mr. Fleites throughout the years. First, I began as his law clerk while waiting to begin law school. In this capacity, I was able to experience the attention to detail he has for each of his cases. I also realized that a succesful attorney not only defends his clients, but also cares for their ultimate result. Carlos was my mentor throughout my time in law school and was never too busy to help a future colleague. In the 10 years I have been an attorney, I have had the pleasure of working hand in hand with Carlos on both criminal and personal injury cases. Many of the litigation techniques I use today stem from his unique style. Carlos approaches all his cases with an equal amount of advocacy and aggressiveness and the results speak for themselves. If I needed an attorney, I would definitely want Carlos in my corner."
